TOPS "Picture You Staring" 10th Anniversary Deluxe Sky Blue LP (2024)

Details: TOPS "Picture You Staring" 10th Anniversary Deluxe Sky Blue Edition LP (2024, Arbutus Records). New stock, sealed.

Description: "... Threads of mystery and distance hold the album together, in both its dreamy, far-off moments (the reverb-glazed harmonies of lullaby “Sleeptalker”) and its more direct, upbeat tunes (the weird jazz-funk shuffle of “Superstition Future” or the bounding '80s-modeled dance pop of standout tune “Change of Heart”). What makes Picture You Staring so deeply enjoyable is the band’s acute sense of when to obscure their sound and when to let it shine through. Walking this tightrope, TOPS never go so far off the deep end of their experimental recording side to completely hide their sad-hearted hooks."--AllMusic
